fix: merge multiple --mcp-config flags and support --allowed-tools parsing (#748)

* fix: merge multiple --mcp-config flags instead of overwriting

When users provide their own --mcp-config in claude_args, the action's
built-in MCP servers (github_comment, github_ci, etc.) were being lost
because multiple --mcp-config flags were overwriting each other.

This fix:
- Adds mcp-config to ACCUMULATING_FLAGS to collect all values
- Changes delimiter to null character to avoid conflicts with JSON
- Adds mergeMcpConfigs() to combine mcpServers objects from multiple configs
- Merges inline JSON configs while preserving file path configs

Fixes #745

* fix: support hyphenated --allowed-tools flag and multiple values

The --allowed-tools flag was not being parsed correctly when:
1. Using the hyphenated form (--allowed-tools) instead of camelCase (--allowedTools)
2. Passing multiple space-separated values after a single flag
   (e.g., --allowed-tools "Tool1" "Tool2" "Tool3")

This fix:
- Adds hyphenated variants (allowed-tools, disallowed-tools) to ACCUMULATING_FLAGS
- Updates parsing to consume all consecutive non-flag values for accumulating flags
- Merges values from both camelCase and hyphenated variants

Fixes #746
